Born on November 25, 2008 to SSD Scarlett and Alex, a guide dog from the Guiding Eyes for the Blind Canine Development Center, these puppies will begin training to become service dogs when they are just eight weeks old. In the first part of their journey, they will join puppy raiser families where they will gain experiences and skills that will enable them to help individuals with disabilities lead more independent lives. Before they are two years old, they will be able to open and close doors, retrieve numerous objects, turn light switches on and off, pull a manual wheelchair, find a cordless phone and much more. Additionally, each service dog is specially trained to serve the needs of the individual they are paired with.
